Abstract

Biometric cardiac profile measured by Echocardiography is satisfying the properties of being a successful
biometric technique which are universality, distinctiveness, collectability, performance, acceptability and
circumvention.
Objectives: The aim of the current study is to establish biometric cardiac profile as a possible identifier for
sex among Egyptian candidates.
Subjects & Methods: a prospective study involving 250 adult healthy volunteers provided equal sex
distribution and age range between 18 & 70 years. The sample was divided into 5 equal groups according
to age. Demographic data were collected. Cardiac parameters were measured by echocardiography. Body
measurements (weight, height, body mass index ‘BMI’ and body surface area ‘BSA’) were taken from each
subject to be studied with respect to the corresponding age, sex & cardiac parameters.
Results: Discriminant scoring was calculated to identify sex using echocardiography with accuracy (65.6%).
Conclusion and Recommendations: Presumptive categorization of persons according to sex can be
achieved through cardiac profile measured by Echocardiography
